MusicRowPics: Ryan Kinder Previews Soulful Style On “Close”

Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville artist Ryan Kinder recently visited the MusicRow office to preview music from an upcoming album, tentatively slated to release this summer.

He performed his latest single, “Close,” which was penned by Kinder with Jeremy Stover and Lindsay Rimes, and produced by Ross Copperman.

He also offered the ballad “Still Believe In Crazy Love,” and the quirky “Plain Jane,” which he co-wrote with Copperman. “I wrote it about a person who was pissed off at her parents because they named her Jane and everybody called her ‘plain Jane.'” says Kinder.

Kinder is in the studio crafting his debut Warner Bros. album with Copperman and Paul Worley.

“I’ve got a bunch of songs I think is a cohesive album. I cut three tracks with Copperman, and we might include some older material,” Kinder says. Previously released singles include “Kiss Me When I’m Down” (2014) and “Tonight” (2015).
